Sprint Electric is expanding its range of digital DC drives up to 1850A (800kW/1080HP). Available in two-quadrant and four-quadrant options, the digital DC drives are suitable for controlling DC motors used in heavy industrial applications such as mining, metal working or the cement industry.
These new high-voltage models are available for supplies up to 690V AC to enable control of DC motors up to 750V DC. Centre winding macros, spindle orientation and a fully controllable field enable users to control DC motors in heavy industry applications.
The PLX is fully configurable by users and comes equipped, as standard, with a comprehensive suite of application blocks. A configuration checker quickly detects any conflicts in the configurations generated by the user. And the extensive range of motor protection features improves productivity by reducing downtime.
A four-button keypad and large alphanumeric display make it easy to navigate quickly through an extensive range of software functions. The PLX has a number of fieldbus communications options, including: Profibus, Devicenet, CC-Link, Ethernet/IP, Modbus and Canopen. The PLX also includes PL Pilot, a Windows-based configuration and monitoring software package. All PLX models are compatible with drive.web. The drive.web distributed control technology uses Ethernet and powerful graphical tools to provide robust, Programmable Peer Control (PPC) for drives and systems. For typical motor control systems, the drive.web technology is infinitely scalable, cost-effective and easy to use.
Sprint Electric now offers a full range of PLX digital DC drives from 12-1850A, with all models available from stock. The PLX is part of an integrated range of analogue and digital DC drives covering both single- and three-phase, regenerative and non-regenerative applications.
